... on the one hand, I'm not surprised, since hijackers typically work in teams and mag capacity is a big plus.

OTOH, one of the reasons people liked the 12ga was that, with slugs, it could theoretically slow up a zodiac or dinghy very nicely with a few shots near the waterline.

Personally, I'd rather have the extra range and mag capacity of the rifle, but for use on a boat I might favor a .308 variant (better against outboards, etc).
